That's already happened, per the Tea Party News Network, as I figured.
This will be the theme on the conservatives shows: The GOP nominated another moderate; he got killed. SCREW THIS!! We want a true conservative.
TRUE - BUT - they need a MODERN conservative. They don't need one who clings to extreme positions in the belief he has to suck up to the super-super-far right groups. The USA is changing, it sucks, but it's changing. Those positions everyone was FORCED to agree to in the debates were used against romney. My wife, a completely clueless political person by any definition, asked me "Did he really say he'd cut planned parenthood? That's crazy!"
She doesn't give a single care about politics, and of ALL the issues, THAT is what grabbed her - and she doesn't even use their services!!!
But the mammogram for poor people (or whatever female medical care they do) - THAT is what stood out for this woman that has a doctor and full insurance.
I was SHOCKED - that EXTREME position he had to agree to - THAT is what stuck with her. nothing else. She can't tell a deficit from a donut hole - but THAT commercial is what she asked me about.
So yeah, the new conservative has to be MODERN. Less Akin, more Rand Paul!
